Unitarp-PVC Tarpaulin

What is PVC Tarpaulin?

PVC tarpaulin is a high-performance material consisting of polyester base fabric coated with PVC (polyvinyl chloride). According to PVC.org, this combination creates a material that’s 5x more durable than standard polyethylene in tropical climates. Our 650gsm PVC tarps withstand 120km/h winds (common in Costa Rica’s Pacific coast) and resist mold growth even in 85% humidity.

What’s the Difference Between Vinyl and PVC Tarpaulin?

Per ASTM standards, vinyl tarps typically measure 18-22oz/sq yd while PVC tarps range 24-40oz. Our 850gsm PVC tarps (28oz) offer 60% greater tear strength than standard vinyl, crucial for Costa Rican construction sites. The PVC coating also provides better UV resistance – our tests show only 2% strength loss after 1500 hours in Atlas Weather-Ometers (equivalent to 5 Costa Rican summers).

  • • 3000mm waterproof rating (withstands monsoon rains)
  • • 1200N tear strength (3x polyethylene)
  • • -30°C to +70°C operational range

What’s the Difference Between Tarp and Tarpaulin?
